Dunsford

This officer very gallantly led his men to the attack and although severely wounded shortly after entering the enemy front line trenches, he continued to encourage his men by his personal example. By his intimate knowledge of the situation he was able, although incapacitated himself, to direct his men until the objective was reached refusing to be carried out until the more serious cases had been evacuated.

Gun shot wound in the left thigh and right shoulder, 15th August, 1917. Demobilized, 17th February, 1919, on account of being medically unfit for further military service. Returned to duty with
the Bank, 15th June, 1920. 208.
